CHASSIS LAYOUT

Flexibility. It’s what defines the Volvo FM. The chassis layout gives you endless configuration possibilities. Extra fuel tanks can be added, equipment rearranged and the chassis prepared for a wide range of superstructures. So whatever work you do, we can build a Volvo FM that’s perfect for the job.

More room for fuel…

The more fuel you carry, the less time you spend refuelling. We’ve created extra space on the Volvo FM so you can now carry the maximum legal amount of fuel. Just choose the tank sizes you want, and where you want them.

…Or complex superstructures

Some applications demand a very specific chassis layout. On the Volvo FM, some chassis equipment can be repositioned to make room for the superstructure. And for extreme applications, we’ll tailor-make them in the factory, providing a level of flexibility that’s hard to match.

Plenty of space for your needs

Battery box(1)

Battery box

We moved the battery box 300 millimetres to make room for 100 to 120 extra litres of fuel. It can be installed at the rear or moved completely (on air-suspended tractors), giving you an additional 300 litres of fuel space.

Fuel tanks(1)

Fuel tanks

The Volvo FM can be equipped with fuel tanks in a range of different shapes, positions, heights, volumes and materials. Sizes range from 150 to 900 litres and can be intelligently combined to maximise your fuel capacity.

Air Production Modulator (APM)(1)

Air Production Modulator (APM)

On tractors, the air compressor control unit has been moved to the area between chassis frames, providing more room for chassis-mounted equipment or fuel tanks.

Air tanks(1)

Air tanks

Depending on your truck’s specification, air tanks can be installed in a variety of positions.

Empty chassis side(1)

Empty chassis side

If required, it’s often possible to specify your Volvo FM with all equipment on one side, so the bodybuilder can have the other side to himself.

Crane preparation(1)

Crane preparation

Space for cranelegs behind cab and crane plates can be offered from factory.
